★ 5.7(16)unSUB Rating
One of two midlength films (along with THAT OLD DREAM THAT MOVES) that director Alain Guiraudie released in 2001, this offbeat, sexually fluid fable unfolds against the wide-open landscapes of France’s Massif Central, where a young woman in search of an apocryphal animal meets and falls in love with a gay shepherd. Together they roam the plains on a journey marked by strange encounters and erotic yearning.
Also known as Sunshine for the Scoundrels
